SymetriGEO supports UK’s CGTS research project

UK: SymetriGEO Services, part of Astrium Services’ GEO-Information division, is supporting the Geospatial and Situational Awareness Demonstration, which is part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) sponsored Common Geospatial Tool Set (CGTS) research project.

The objective of CGTS, which is being delivered by the Lockheed Martin (UK) led Team SPARTA, is to de-risk future geospatial capability procurement options and to support the delivery of a coherent geospatial capability across the UK MoD.

Earlier this year, SymetriGEO was involved in the delivery of a demonstration highlighting “the art of the possible” in 2012, based on a Homeland Security scenario and focusing on the operational benefits of open-standards based approach.

John Tate from Lockheed Martin noted, “The support received from SymetriGEO has assisted in the illustration of the delivery of an open-standards based geo capability across the security sector and UK MOD.”
